4 For the music director; with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.a
1 When I call, answer me, O God of my righteousness.b
In trouble ⌊deliver me⌋.c
Be gracious to me and hear my prayer.
2 O sons of man, how long will my honord be a disgrace?
How long will you love vanity?
How long will you seek lies?e Selah
3 But know that Yahweh has set apartf for himself the faithful one.g
Yahweh hears when I call to him.
4 Be disturbed but do not sin.
Commune in your hearth on your bed and be silent. Selah
5 Offer correct sacrifices,i
and ⌊trust in⌋j Yahweh.
6 Many are saying, “Who will show us something good?”
Lift up overk us the light of your face, O Yahweh.
7 You have put gladness in my heart
more than ⌊when⌋l their grain and their wine abound.
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep ⌊at once⌋,m
for you alone, O Yahweh, make me dwell safely.
